A lambeosaur is a very large animal, smaller than its relative the anatotitan, but still averaging over 30 feet long. It still is a common prey item for many carnivorous dinosaurs, but lambeosaurs live in large herds to protect themselves from danger. Each herd has a distant relationship with other nearby herds, and their crests act as powerful amplifiers for their hooting cries. The distress calls of a lambeosaur can be heard from almost a mile away, and if a distress call is given, other herds in earshot flee as rapidly as possible.
